A bit about the workshop:

Significant Ink: Newcastle brings you a free screenwriting workshop with Emily Low at the John Marley Centre. You could be brand new to writing or this could be the first time you’ve dabbled in screenwriting! Places are open to people who are 18+ and are part of the Global Majority (click for the definition if you are unsure).

This workshop is funded by the North East Combined Authority.
